At the same time, local people in Africa, Asia, and South America are tired of outsiders (East or West) controlling their resources. Sometimes they just take over mines and switch partners
Africans are fools, they have all it takes to be wealthy and control the world, but still, they live in abject poverty. What a shame!
Even the colonisers did not help, as they've sucked them dry, but it seems things are now changing, with France sent back to its country in some African countries, and a few others are now talking tough.
Recently, Nigeria warned the US to tread carefully on the immigration ban on its citizen, that it would cost them access to their rare earth minerals. The continent has never talked tough before, but focused on the money that would gain. But now, they are discovering their stance in the world.
EarnOnVictor I will ask that you take back that statement that Africas are fools, I believe you are from Africa and are you saying you are also a fool
Who the heck are you to tell me to take back my statement? You are so fond of yourself, and only arrogance and stupidity could make you request such. Ok, Mr take it back, I hold to my statement in an infinite percentage, it's your headache, bear it alone. And as you know, I am an African, but before you raise that ego to direct that arrogance towards me, you should first learn to know how a statement is directed to the prevailing context and should remain with the context, rather than stupidly referring it to the entirety of Africans and what Africans stand for. Africans are smart and beautiful people who have the best scorecard in many aspects of life, so don't tell me what I know, and let it enter into your tiny brain that the "fool" statement was directed at the wealth distribution, selfishness and corruption, and not everything African in case your brain is too little to understand that apsect in communication.
I think you should direct it to our African leaders who won't use our resources to develop the continent or there different countries, and again I think the problem of Africa is the system that those that colonies them introduced to them, that system can't work well for us I'm sure if we where still operating monarchy system of government the continent won't be in this same condition so those that forced another system on us are also to be blamed for the condition of Africa.
At this point, I think it's time you stop before it continues to make you look uneducated. Are they the same people who have been ruling for centuries? Has the selfishness, corruption and selling of their countries out for cheap gains stopped? It is in the DNA. So I wonder what an average African would do differently, unless God blessed us with exceptional ones.
As for the system of government, can't we change it? Do we need the foreigners to also change that for us as sovereign nations? That is the problem with Africans, you will complain and complain, whereas the solution to the problem is in your hands.If you where offered by my statement I take it back, we are here to educate each other and learn and share ideas, no vex.
Is not possible to change the system of government from what it is, for example Nigeria operates under a federal republic system with a presidential system of government and over time this has been the system of government that has been in place the monarchy system has already been destroyed because of the amalgamation that was carried out by those that colonies us by joining different kingdoms together, in Nigeria the Northern and Southern where different with there own kings that where ruling every kingdom they had rules and regulations that the people obey and when you fail to obey this rules in some cases the god's of the land may punish you with death or other things and this has been the situation not until we where colonies and this different kingdoms where amalgamated by British colonial Governor Frederick Lugard forcing them to become one, and there by making it a political entity.
Now there's no way one king will come out to rule Nigeria again because there's different kingdoms in Nigeria with there own king's, the only way monarchy system of government can work is by dividing the nation.
The systems usually set in place in monarch is want can work in Africa.
